ant build script don't run on windows using command line - ant

i have written an ant script, which runs ok and generate the .jar file when i use it with eclipse.
But when i use it on command prompt on windows xp, it's shows successfull, but nothing happens. ant is properly configured and also i can run other ant scripts.
here is my build.xml file
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<project name="TaskNodeBundle" basedir=".">
<!-- Sets variables which can later be used. -->
<!-- The value of a property is accessed via ${} -->
<property name="bundlename" value="task-node-bundle" />
<property name="src.dir" location="../src" />
<property name="lib.dir" location="../lib" />
<property name="build.dir" location="/buildoutput" />
<property name="build.dest" location="build/dest" />
<!--
Create a classpath container which can be later used in the ant task
-->
<path id="classpath">
<fileset dir="${lib.dir}/">
<include name="*.jar" />
</fileset>
</path>
<target name="clean">
<delete dir="${build.dir}" />
<delete dir="${build.dest}" />
</target>
<!-- Deletes the existing build directory-->
<target name="mkdir" depends="clean">
<mkdir dir="${build.dest}"/>
</target>
<!-- Compiles the java code -->
<target name="compile" depends="mkdir">
<javac srcdir="${src.dir}" destdir="${build.dest}" classpathref="classpath" />
</target>
<target name="package-bundle" depends="compile" description="Generates the bundle">
<jar destfile="${dist.dir}/${bundlename}.jar">
<fileset dir="${src.dir}">
<include name="**/**.class" />
<include name="**/**.properties"/>
<include name="/META-INF/**.*" />
<include name="/META-INF/spring/**.*" />
</fileset>
</jar>
</target>
</project>

When you execute an ant script from the command line it will execute the first target defined in the build.xml file (in your case clean).
You can specify the target(s) to be executed on the command line
$ ant target1 target2
or define a default target in your build.xml file with the default attribute of the <project> tag:
<project name="TaskNodeBundle" basedir="." default="package-bundle">

Ant task "javac" was successful but doesn't produce any output

I'm trying to compile a project using ant. I guess the "javac" task was successful as i can see the following message on the console:
[javac] Compiling 151 source file to /var/lib/jenkins/jobs/project1/workspace/build
Here is the complete output of the command "ant compile"
clean:

[javac] Compiling 151 source file to /var/lib/jenkins/jobs/project1/workspace/build
BUILD SUCCESSFUL
Total time: 1 second
The problem is there is nothing produced in the folder "build" !
I'm using the same build.xml template file in other projects and it works very well, but here i can't understand why i can't find the compiled sources in the build folder.
Please help.
Here is my build.xml file:

Thanks for your help.
Try my build.xml file, I did add the ReportNG plugin into this build.xml file to generate better looking reports instead of the default TestNG reports. You can just download the jar file for ReportNG and place it into your lib folder and it should still work fine:
<project name="Some Bullshit Goes Here" default="clean" basedir=".">
<!-- Initilization properties -->
<!-- <property name="lib.dir" value="${basedir}/lib"/> -->
<!-- using the ${basedir} allows you to use relative paths. It will use the working directory and add folders that you specify -->

<property name="bin.dir" value="${basedir}/bin"/>
<property name="output.dir" value="${basedir}/output"/>

MANIFEST.MF is override after running build.xml using ant

have following directory structure
src/com
src/META-INF/MANIFEST.MF
src/META-INF/spring
src/META-INF/spring/context.xml
now when i run the script, my menifest file is override, i don't want that, because i have to add custom enteries in it and i want that to be adding in generated .jar file. THing is all other files are copied, but this one is override.
my build.xml is as follows
<project name="TaskNodeBundle" default="all" basedir=".">
<!-- Sets variables which can later be used. -->
<!-- The value of a property is accessed via ${} -->
<property name="bundlename" value="tasknodebundle" />
<property name="src.dir" location="../src" />
<property name="lib.dir" location="../lib" />
<property name="build.dir" location="/buildoutput" />
<property name="build.dest" location="../build/dest" />
<!--

</jar>
</target>
<target name="all" depends="package-bundle">
</target>
</project>
See http://ant.apache.org/manual/Tasks/jar.html.
If the manifest is omitted, a simple one will be supplied by Apache
Ant.
Just add manifest attribute or use zip task.
Also ant path masks are used incorrectly. See http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Apache_Ant/Fileset.
Corrected version:
<zip destfile="${build.dest}/${bundlename}.jar">
<fileset dir="${src.dir}">
<include name="META-INF/**" />
<include name="**/*.class" />
<include name="**/*.properties"/>
</fileset>

If you're not telling Jenkins to run the prepForDeployment and deployToStaging targets then it won't run them, just the same as when you run Ant on the command line.
If you want those targets to run, add them to the target list under your "Invoke Ant" build step.

Javadoc errors when building Ant project

I am trying to write a build.xml file for my project. When I run build.xml as an Ant project, I get the following error:
D:\workspace\LogAlerter\src\com\j32bit\alerter\launcher\LogAlerter.java:9:
error: package org.apache.log4j does not exist
[javadoc] import org.apache.log4j.Logger;
I have imported log4j in LogAlerter.Java. Here is my build.xml file:
<?xml version="1.0"?>

Try adding a classpath ref to your javadoc task:
<javadoc packagenames="src"
sourcepath="${src.dir}"
destdir="${docs.dir}"
classpathref="build.classpath">
What the warning is telling you is that you've not provided the full classpath to the javadoc task. Try adding a similar classpath ref to that in your compile task and see where that leads.
Importing is fine but make sure it is available at run time for the JavaDoc tool. log4j.jar should be present in your build.classpath.
Make use of the classpathref inside the docs target like so:
<javadoc packagenames="src" sourcepath="${src.dir}" destdir="${docs.dir}" classpathref="build.classpath">
